Who are we?
Green Bottle is a non-profit making organization working for a greener tomorrow. Founded at 5 June 2012, Green Bottle helps to make our living world better by recycling bottles. With an objective of fully utilizing the recycled bottles and recreating them into something usable for those who need help, we are using the Greenspun technology to change bottles into fabric products, and then give them out to elderly or poor families.

Why we are here?
Packaging waste is a huge and growing problem for modern society. According to The Environmental Protection Department, every month Hong Kong throws away an estimated 1 million plastic bottles. While recycling rates are increasing they are still a long way away from 100%, and if plastic is not recycled it will soon find its way to landfill. Once there, because plastic does not biodegrade, it will persist for hundreds of years.
